CURRENT SPORTING NEWS.
IN WHICH THE EDUCATED PUBLIC Is
DEEPLY INTERESTED.
Brief Base BAH Observation-Disclosures toms
First Trip to the west-Entries for
the Running Races Coming Regattas
of the Boat Clubs.

The past week has furnished little Of in
terest to lovers OF base ball. and IL cannot
be recorded that much Of Importance has
occurred. The fight for the championship
goes bravely on. The Detroits and Bostons
are having neck and neck race, with New
York close up and rapidly closing the gap
that separates them from the leaders. An
sons aggregation has taken firm hold
upon fourth position, while the Philadel-
pbia, Pittsburg, Washington, and Indian
apolis clubs follow as named. Much to
local enthusiasts regret, the Statesmen
have not bettered their position, and
played very uneven and irregular game
OF ball. 1t is hard to account for this fact,
as there Is no doubt but that the team is q
strong one and composed of material that
should give better exhibitions OF the ma
tional pastime than has been the case of
late. When criticism OF Just kind is
passed upon the nine It is the opportunity
for some strong defender of the club to rise
up and exclaim that the Washingtons have
won more victories so for this season than
at the same period last year. This Is rather
nonsensical, and to any thoughtful observer
IL Will be readily conceded that Washing
.oh . iSPiebcuIuViNo CluD tulS year ut'l laSt
bear no comparison In any manner what
ever. Last seasons team was ut times with
out full quota OF players, and, as the
public are well aware, In several instances,
In order to put nine on the field, had to
resort to picking up players here or there
as they could find them.
This state Of affairs the Statesmen have
not had to contend with during the present
season. Tho club has full contingent of
skilled knights Of the diamond who are
worthy representatives Of their profession
IL they are properly managed and made to
understand that their duty is to give to
their club their best services. No person
anticipates that the Senators will win every
game, but they should give more regular
exhibitions than they have been doing
winning game one day In brilliant style
and losing the next In the most inexcusable
manner is apt to make the most partisan
enthusiast grow cold and withdraw interest
both In the game and club.
The Washingtons will meet the western
clubs during the present week, and on
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday play
the Detroits. Friday will be an Off day,
and Saturday Pittsburg will be the States
mems opponent. Carroll and Krieg will
not accompany the club west, owing to
sickness. No game being scheduled for
to- day, the Senators will put in their time
by playing the Altoonas at Altoona, and
O'Day and Dealy will occupy the points
for the Washingtons.
The following is the standing OF the clubs

Several months before. young man
named Robertson, tired and WORKOUT

Pritchard farm, situated in a rough dis
trict of Kentucky. When told by the
widow that she could not accommo-

His tone of voice was SO appealing, and
his manners bespoke such gentlcmanly
considerationt,h hat Mrs. Pritcharl could
not refuse him. The few days length
ened into weeks. the weeks into
months, and Still the young man
showed no disposition to leave the
place; and, it can also be said. the old
woman and her daughter exhibited no
desire to part with his company.
Martha was, every one said.
''strange sort of girl" Her features
were regular and her countenance had
that cast of melancholy which becomes
beautiful when the light of smile is
thrown upon it. She was not so tall

was she so short of stature that q GER
